You’re using the List addItemAt method
instead of the DataProvider addItemsAt method. I think you want to use _root.modelImage2.photo.addItemsAt(0,
tilelistAllImage.selectedItems);
as the body of your addLibrary method, no
need for the for loop.

Not sure why second message was also truncated. Let's
try this again...

Thanks for your interest and notice, Scott. To
recap:
I have a TileList that shows images and their
names,
read from an XML file and rendered by a
CellRenderer.
When the [Add Photo] button is clicked, a
createPopUp
is called. This PopUp also has a TileList that
reads
another XML file with the same structure (but
different data.) Images can be selected, and when
the
[Add] button is clicked selected images should be
added to the main TileList's model. However,
something
is added to the TileList, but it only shows blank
tiles/undefined...
Here is the code again...
-- XML file, both look similar --

Re: [flexcoders] HTTPService useProxy question...
Sent at 3:21pm You have to use a proxy, not Flex, but any proxy. The Flash Player is a client-side technology, and as such, it can only retreive data from sources within it's domain.

It has gzipped XML files on it's site, and dev.jessewarden.com wants to use that data. PHP grabs the xml feed, unzips it, and sends it to Flex when Flex requests it.

i know i can pass the x and y coords as part of the initialization

Re: [flexcoders] application flow, logic question . . .
Sent at 12:43 pm EST/ GMT -5 You can still use loadMovie, although, I recommend against that even in Flash. Basically, you can have 3(or more) components: - Login.mxml - Interface1.mxml - Interface2.mxml Your Login MXML is just that, a coponent that shows the username password fields, dispatches a login event assuming the fields have validated. You can use your base class/tag for your Login.xml as mx:TitleWindow Your Interface1 and 2 are whatever those interfaces are. Your main Application.mxml file is technically your _root, but it's actually a Singleton class which is really really nice. - in the initialize event of your app, it calls a function to setup your app. - you'll have a ViewStack with your login component in it, like so: mx:ViewStack id=app_view creationPolicy=all local:Login local:xmlns=* / local:Interface1 local:xmlns=* / /mx:ViewStack If the user successfully logs in, then you can have your ViewStack go to the next view, in this case, your Interface1: app_view.selectedIndex = 1; There are other ways, but that's the gist; if they get logged out for whatever reason, set the index back to 0.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: application flow, logic question . . .
Chris, I'd also recommend that you do a search in the docs for creationPolicy and read about deferred instantiation. Try and forget everything you know about splitting a flash movie up into separate movies and loading them on demand, and relinquish that responsibility to Flex. With clever use of creationPolicy, you can allow Flex to defer the loading of your application with an appropriate policy. Don't get me wrong, you may find there's a need ultimately to start using Loader controls to create and destroy your own views; but I'd always recommend that you try and avoid this strategy until evident performance demands it.

RE: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService useProxy question...
First thanks for the response! Clears a lot of things up. But...if I read this correctly, then all the sites that I am requesting FROM have to have a crossdomain.xml file in their root web directory? Exactly. The Flash client works same as Java or JS in regards to security, cross domain data exchange is limited. The exception here is that Flash allows this with a light security measure in crossdomain.xml. It also provides access to low ports for XMLSocket and several other features. If you are accessing Internet WebServices, either write your own proxy or use the one included in Flex. Plus with the Flex proxy you also have whitelist security and support for HTTP authorization headers. useProxy=false is ideal if the only web service you are exchanging data is on your own server. Hope that helps. Ted ;) Thanks again, Michael --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Theodore E Patrick [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: When you set proxy=false you need to have crossdomain.xml files set-up to handle the flash player security sandbox.

[flexcoders] Re: popupmanager . . . position the window?
Here are two utility functions that I use to handle popups. One will
center the popup, the other will align it to the top, right edge.
It was a lot of trial and error to get something which worked all the
time in Flex. Not sure why such an simple, common task was so
painful. Note that Flex has a centerPopup function call in the API,
but it is unreliable.
class Util {
public static var singleton : Util = new Util();
public static function showPopUpCentered(windowClass:Object,
modal:Boolean, initVars:Object):Object {
var popup = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp( _root,
windowClass, modal, initVars);
popup.centerPopUp( MovieClip(mx.core.Application.application)
);
return popup;
}
public static function showPopUpRightMost(windowClass:Object,
modal:Boolean, initVars:Object):Object {
var popup = mx.managers.PopUpManager.createPopUp( _root,
windowClass, modal, initVars);
popup.addEventListener(creationComplete, singleton,
moveRightMost);
return(popup);
}
public function creationComplete(event) {
event.target.move((mx.core.Application.application.tabStack ==
undefined ? mx.core.Application.application.width :
(mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.width +
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.x)) - event.target.width,
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack == undefined ? 0 :
mx.core.Application.application.tabStack.y);
}
}
Notes on showPopUpRightMost:
1) You have to wait until the popup is fully created before you can
use it's size. I used a creationComplete event listener on a
singleton of the Util class. There are other ways to do this (which
probably would be better suited to standlone code snippets like this)
2) The guts of the implementation, creationComplete, looks to see if
the application has a top level tabStack component. If it finds a
tabStack, it uses that instead of the application window. You can
choose another component to align to, or you can strip out this code
entirely.
Now for the $1000 question, what effect does adding deferred: true
to the popups init vars really do?
P.S. Someone else on this list provided the magic incantations for
showPopUpCentered.

It seems to get it wrong on page 564, however, when it saysIn the DataSource object, the selected items in the Tree control are copied into the DataSource object with a format string of items. I believe to get a copy of the selected items in a TreeNode, you would need to use treeItems; items would return undefined, correct? It might be good to include the information from page 562 in the LiveDocs for the dataForFormat method of mx.core.DragSource.
